October Faction

Updated: I finally made myself watch past episode 2, and while I maintain the disappointment of seeing a potential great show tarnished by bad cast choices and poor adaptation from the Gtaphic Novel, in the end I was somewhat entertained. I hope they do better in season 2 if they ever get one. And since I think opinions are not immutable gave 2 more stars, from 5 to 7.

Love the premise of the show and the colors. The acting is suferable at best, this show with a different cast would be a hit.

OK, first off. There were too many unnecessary F-Bombs, so much so that it sounded like the actors even felt uncomfortable dropping them in as was written. Secondly, there was all kinds of build up to the climactic end and it was over. Geez, my 12 year old could have written a better ending than that.

The acting was not as horrible as others have reviewed - I have turned off other movies due to bad acting, but kept going with this one for the hopes of a good ending. Well, what I got was an empty feeling when it was all over.

Anyone who goes on about this being some high school melodrama show hasn't watched it. Yeah, the kids are in high school and that's a part of the story, but a small one.

It IS kind of standard secret organization fighting monsters in the world stuff, but the overall story is strong, the script is at least good, and the acting is fine....if the casting a bit qestionable.

I don't expect every show to have Avengers level special effects, and this is no exception, but the visuals are more than passable. But overall the show lacked a....personality. It was a little by the numbers, not really inspired and just didn't have a feel of it's own.

But it's not the write it off, predictable, boring wreck that some people are trashing it as. It was solid, and if you like supernatural action with a good story, you'll dig it.

Are teenagers starting to write the scripts. Most of the negative comments on here are spot on.

Of all of the actors they could have picked, WHY did the casting director choose J.C. MacKenzie to play Fred? I know it sounds cruel, but I preferred watching his scenes with my eyes closed.
